This is a privately-owned garden that belongs to a local farmer who opens it to the public free of charge so that people can enjoy the beautiful flowers.
A place well-known for flowers, leading Japanese photographer Shotaro Akiyama visited Hanamiyama Park every year, believing there was a Shangri-La in Fukushima. With wintersweet, Japanese cornel, witch hazel, forsythia, higan cherry, Yoshino cherry, flowering peach, Japanese quince, iris, nandina and many others, there are beautiful flowers in full bloom every season. The competing blooms of flowers including plum blossoms from late March, and cherry blossoms and flowering peach from early or mid April (in a typical year) make for particularly spectacular viewing.
The flower viewing season (early-late April) attracts the most visitors so there are traffic restrictions on the surrounding roads during this time.
Please check the website below prior to visiting in the peak blossom season.
Visitors with a disability or who are unsteady on their feet may talk to the Fukushima City Tourist Information Center.

Anyone can enjoy the path to Hanamiyama, but the path within the park has steep inclines and the footing is poor in parts. The crowds during peak viewing season make it difficult for visitors in wheelchairs or with limited mobility to reach the summit. |
